The Galena American Legion Auxiliary Unit 193 had an amazing poppy distribution this year. Thank you to the community and visitors for their awesome support in this year’s Poppy Distribution fundraiser. American Legion Auxiliary Unit 193 had not been able to distribute poppies since 2019 which meant their ability to assist veterans was impaired. This year the community’s generosity made it possible for our members to collect over $1,800.00. This amount is the most they have ever collected. If you are interested in receiving info about the American Legion Auxiliary, please reach out to kkhoward52@gmail.com.
